Re-new old friendships and restore old memories from a special time in our lives by attending our biennial Reunions. Join our Association and receive a copy of our Master Sailing List with contact information of all shipmates that we have been able to verify and/or contact.

Our 6th biennial reunion was held in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho in May 2014. We had over 140 in attendance at the Coeur d'Alene Resort on the water front of Lake Coeur d'Alene. A HUGE THANK YOU goes out to Doug 'Smitty' Smith and Bob 'Dings' Dengel for planning this fabulous get together. You can read all about it in our News section of the website.

So join our close knit community tour our web site and plan to attend our next reunion. To join our association head over to our Join page, and bring up the Join Form, print it out and send it in.

Another thing you should do is look at our Topside Log and register so you can join in and post your stories, let your shipmates know how you are doing, post some news you discovered, ideas for reunions, or anything else that comes to mind.

We need your help to find our shipmates. We have put together a Sailing List of Caiman shipmates that we have contact information on and a Lost List of Caiman shipmates that we have yet to find. These lists were put together from many sources, including official Navy records, various related websites and the memories and records of shipmates we have found. Take a look at our Unlocated Shipmates List and if you have any information on anyone on the list, like what corner of the world we should look, please let us know at fc-crew[at]flamincaiman.org..

Please be sure to fill out the Profile form. This will allow us to add or update your information on our Sailing List. A lot of us have moved or changed email addresses, phone numbers etc. Don't worry about your contact info getting out on the web. The info from the form is emailed only to one person that is putting the master list together. If your email address has changed, go to our email change page. If any other contact info has changed like your mailing address or phone number, please fill in the Profile form again.

Smitty maintains the Master Sailing List and Lost List. We update the public version of the Sailing List periodically. You can get the public version of the Sailing List and the Lost List right here. The Sailing List is a big file, so those of you with a dial up connection can go have a cup of coffee or two. You can also request the Master Sailing List if you are a member of the Association.
